3. What is the punishment for this ridiculous law? nt

4. What if someone slips? Does this also apply to student-student interactions?

Maybe everyone should be required to wear state-approved name tags.

And maybe the state legislators should get a friggin' life. And a new job.

5. The Regressive mindset is getting perilously close to how things are in...

North Korea.Where there are six officially recognized haircuts. Should you be audacious enough to have a cowlick, the punishment is hard labor.

Unfortunately, even in the West there are countries with approved lists of childrens names. But, they generally don’t exclude nicknames, which is why what a person answers to can sometimes be wildly different from their given name.

6. I learned early on that if someone yelled "Hey, Jerkface!"

the wisest thing to do was just ignore it, lest it wind up sticking. (Most of my nicknames were usually given me by others, now that I think about it. Whether I chose to answer to them was my decision, without the help of the state.)

7. Fortunately we don't need permission to give political blowhards various nicknames

I suggest "Gasbag" for every single person who voted for this BS

[JHB]

8. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans would be the first to scream...

..."COMMUNISM" at such a policy.

But then, "getting government off your back" was always a smoke screen for sticking it up all sorts of other places.

9. Woke anthem with nickname

10. It makes me think that someone might be trying to highlight

the preposterous nature of the new law by adhering to it in the strictest sense.
If that is the case, it is brilliant trolling by the school admin - which says in effect,
'...this stupid law was brought to you by your crazy representatives - next time vote accordingly.'
Keep in mind that many teachers and school admins do not support the actions of the
state legislators.

13. My niece got one of these emails.

She lives in Davenport area. Her son is Christopher, the third, named after Dad and Grandpa. He goes by Cass. I gather the school has a file where parents have to put any nicknames, gender etc for the school admin and teachers. If it's missing, they get a letter.

Her email includes something along the lines of "SF 496, signed by Republican Governor Kimberly Kay Reynolds on May 26, 2023"

Seems like this is partly legal cover for the school but also an in your face about where this absurdity came from.

14. I'll just call her Kimberly Kay until I get a note from her mom
